[edit] History

In 988 PD, the First Elders destroyed the cryo tubes, and other technological equipment from their colony ship.

For many years, the council was de facto in control of Grayson, until the Mayhew Restoration once again made the Protectorship the most powerful part of the government.

In 1903 PD, Protector Benjamin IX believed he had the Council in line regarding the Manticorans, especially as the Council had fears that Captain Honor Harrington might abandon Grayson. (HH2)
